Ex-UFC champion vows to retire if he doesn't KO YouTube star Logan Paul

Former UFC champion Luke Rockhold has promised to retire from fighting "for good" if he is unable to knockout Logan Paul in a potential boxing match.

Rockhold, 38, negotiated his UFC release last month despite still having several fights left on his contract. The former middleweight champion is now keen on competing in other promotions such as PFL but has called out YouTube boxers such as Logan and his brother Jake for fights. Rockhold is so confident that he would beat Logan in the ring that he would stop fighting for good if he doesn't knock the YouTuber "out cold".

“If I don’t knock him out, I’ll retire,” Rockhold told Inside Fighting. "I’ll retire for good. I mean, that’s done but, I’m putting hands together. If I don’t knock Logan Paul out cold, I’d be f****ng out. I’m out, I guarantee it. No, not disappointment — I’d be f****** devastated, but, that ain’t gonna happen. I'll put him to sleep if he wants to step up.
